This place not only has delicious food but also a fantastic happy hour. Highlights include the chicken wings and avocado crispy rice. We ordered the Ritual roll which was unique and tasty. Would definitely come back

One of the best sushi restaurants I've experienced in San Diego. And I've tried dozens in search of the best. Quality of the fish is outstanding and each roll is prepared with interesting garnishes. Rolls are each unique and don't taste like all the same. Service was terrific from all 3 servers and managers we encountered. The environment is not memorable or fancy but the food more than makes up for it. A great place for great sushi.

Low key place, but the tools are delicious! Definitely recommend the house edamame and the Ritual roll! Ritual roll was probably one of the best rolls I've had! Service was quick and the staff were super friendly! Would definitely comeback, happy hour ends at 6pm so don't miss it!

We ate dinner here last night after going to a happy hour. The menu seems to have a limited selection of sushi rolls but some items looked interesting so we gave it a go. They also had a happy hour so we took advantage of the food items on their menu such as the spicy chicken wings and fried crispy rice over avocado. We got a Saiko roll, some nigiri and a California roll for our main eats. Everything was tasty but I still favor our regular Japanese spots

Hands down my favorite place for sushi in San Diego. I might be a little biased since this was where my bf and I went on our second date that was the catalyst of our relationship. Anyways! The food- amazing! Get the John Dear roll, don't think twice even though it has curry in it, it works. I've loved everything I've ordered and if you can swing it, do omakase!! The waiters are also super chill but very attentive at the same time. Just writing this makes me want to go tonight

Highly recommend Saiko Sushi! Everything from the food, to atmosphere, to service was spot on. It's a casual, relaxed vibe; perfect for a chill date night. JR took care of us and he was just the best. We always had what we needed and he had great recommendations. Love it when people really enjoy what they do, it makes the experience that much better. We had a bunch of different rolls and sides. We started with edamame and wings (GET THE WINGS!!). Both fantastic. The Roboto roll was super good, the spicy garlic aioli took it up a notch. The Dear John roll was also delicious. Topped with curry aioli the Dear John roll is unique and so worth trying. We also had the Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice and that was also 5/5. It sits on an avocado puree and a great plate to share. The shrimp tempura was great as well. Can't remember the name of my drink but it was so good. Some Japanese Whiskey cocktail of some sort. My girlfriend something that tasted like strawberry lemonade and that was good too, pretty sweet though. Definitely check out Saiko! seriously get the wings
